About DataLinker
DataLinker is an intuitive, easy-to-use plug-in that imports data from CSV or ODBC data sources onto an InDesign page. Data can then be automatically updated from the data source to the page. Data can be inserted into a document manually, or many records can be merged into a template at once.
